eugene Field and the Bedburs.

Eugene Field was here not long ago
under an assignment to describe the
Omaha saloon property of ex-President
Hayes, and had the pleasure OF dining
with him at one OF our first class hotels.
After dinner we went up to his room.
When he opened the door for me to 60 in
saw probably the most remarkable apart
ment it has ever been my lot to witness.
The walls had been white originally,
suppose, but as / glanced Mt them they
seemed to have been transformed into a
dirty yellow. The sheets of the bed were
turned down, and they exhibited the
same discoloration The windows had
spots of yellow on them. and the wash
stand and dressing case were similarly
blotched. turned TO Field wonderingly.

night" he explained pathetically, land
didn't sleep very well. AS soon as it was
light l went down to the drug store and
bought four pounds of insect powder" F"
And he had used il all, and with CON-
mendable thoroughness.
We sat in the yellow room and chatted
few minutes and then Field rose and
rang the bell. A girl appeared, and he
asked her to send up the housekeeper AS
that large. venerable and matronly person
ter of the room assuming n tragical atti-
tude, and rendered most flendishly ridlcu-
lous by the waving plumes of large
feather duster which he had found on the
dressing case, and the handle of which he
had stuck between his collar and the back
of his neck. 1t was tableau as funny as
could be improvised. 1t was broken pres
emily by Field announcing himself in
blood curdling tones TO the housekceper
as ''Spdt, the Bedbug King" Then he
plucked her mysteriously by the sleeve,
and led her over to the dressing case. He
opened the top drawer of that article OF
furniture, and there, disposed in regular
line, were fourteen bedbugs lying in all
the silent pathos of death on as many
small fragments of newspaper. / shall

ishment and shame with which that
housekeeper turned and ran out of the

/. Max Muller says: ''We may fancy our
selves secure against the fetch worship Of
the poor negro, but there are few IL any
among us wLo haye not their fetch or
idol, either in their church or their heart.
The negro's religion is not belief in the
power of the fetch, but belief in the power
of the spirit through which the fetch is OF
effect.n
One important thought in particular Is
not peculiar to fetch faith, but is mixed
with the religions of MOST people; but the
negro suffers more than any other man
from the fear of ghosts. "Tn the foaming
water, in the dazzling lightning, In the
murmuring wind he sees the working OF
self existing spiritual beings. And why
should we deprive an anxious human
heart of the comforting faith that piece
of hide or a dried snake head carefully
wrapped up and worn about the body can
protect himF'-H. Nipperdey In Popular

In German periodical it is stated the
Jews in Moldavia have method of MAX
ing honey into hard white sugar, which
is employed by the distalers of Dantzic to
make their liquors. The process consists
in exposing the honey to the frost during
three weeks, sheltered from the sun and
the snow, in vase of some material
which is bad conductor of heat. The
honey does not freeze, but becomes hard

And wonder why, against the charm

The face they deem so cold and duh

Are they too duh to see arightg
Hath he quicker, keener sights
Or Is it that indifference
Than love hath clearer. truer sensal
Now is he right or wrongs oh, say,
Doth he behold her face, or theys
Her eyes into his own eyes shine
With strange ilhInlining; a sign
Is on her brow; palimpsest,
To his own gaze alone confessed;
On him. in gravely gracious mood,
She smiles her souls beatitude.
This is the face she turns TO him;
Oh, say not tits a lovers whim
That finds it fair; nor are they duh

For, strangest of all mysteries,
They never see the face he sees
The face no artists skill can linn,
The love-fair face she turns to him.
